Excerpt:
>Rishi Sunak is set to announce a collaboration between the UK, Italy and Japan to develop a new fighter jet that uses artificial intelligence.
>The nations will develop a next generation fighter - due to enter service in the mid-2030s - that will eventually replace the Typhoon jet.
>It is hoped the new Tempest jet will carry the latest weapons.
>But building such a complex aircraft is extremely expensive - developing the F35 jet was the most expensive programme ever undertaken by the Pentagon - so Britain has been looking for partners.
>Italy was already on board, and the addition of Japan is a significant move - at a time when Britain is building closer ties with allies in the Indo-Pacific region worried about a more assertive China.
>Other countries could still join the programme. France, Germany and Spain are already working together on their own separate design - as is the United States.
Jonathan Beale, 9 December 2022.
Further reading:
>The Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) is a new partnership and ambitious endeavour between the UK, Japan and Italy to deliver the next generation of combat air fighter jets.
>Due to take to the skies by 2035, the ambition is for this to be a next-generation jet enhanced by a network of capabilities such as uncrewed aircraft, advanced sensors, cutting-edge weapons and innovative data systems.
>The combat aircraft developed through GCAP is also expected to be compatible with other NATO partners’ fighter jets.

>Work on developing it is already under way - with the aim to create a combat aircraft that will provide speed stealth, use advanced sensors and even artificial intelligence to assist the human pilot when they are overwhelmed, or under extreme stress.
It could also be flown without a pilot's input if required and could be able to fire hypersonic missiles.
Pretty sure everything will be AI assisted in the future. Even some consumer electronics are starting to have AI tech implemented in them.

Let's see....
Russia has already proven that stealth tech won't stop even the S300, let alone their more advanced systems.
B52s are more than good enough to carry long range missiles to be launched at a stand-off range.
While Russia is still flying about 200 sorties or more a day, few of them penetrate Ukraine airspace even though the AFU has a terribly coordinated air defense. No need.
The change has been compared to the obsolescence of the Battleship in WWII. Manned aircraft like the F35 are no longer viable when precision drones can be used instead.

A.i. does not exist yet. It's an algorithm made out of alot of if else, case/switch statements on which a machine learning model makes the decisions within the source code how to react or what actions to perform. It's all human curated, and mostly developed. A real AI will start without code, without inference learning and will learn on it's own like a baby would.
The world is run by algorithms. A.I. is just the marketing term they use as it sounds more fancy than 'algorithm'

You should check out yukikaze. A great anime about a man (pilot) and machine (A.I. enhanced plane) becoming a new lifeforms while raging a war. Pretty captivating story and it's won multiple prices for the production quality. There even was a game !

I believe a hellfire missile launcher can be entirely controlled by the computer. Most of the operations concerning radar and signal jamming in military tech is already done by computers. The human hand and mind is not connected enough or fast enough to notice when radar is being jammed and switch to a different form of tracking.
In other words, this headline is clickbait.

UK, Italy, and Japan team up to develop new fighter jet. . . Ok sounds good, why not, they are all friendly nations what could go wrong?. . .
That uses artificial intelligence. . . Ok who hasn’t seen Stealth, The Terminator, T2, The Matrix, or forgot to run this by a committee of any kind? This shit is a bad idea, is is how you get a nuclear winter from robots.

cyon_me t1_izi5d6k wrote
Russia doesn't have Stealth though. Also, do you really think you want a giant radio signal to your "stealth" aircraft? If so, then the stuff that you're relying on is to make it hard to hit, not to hide it (you'll need a manned support aircraft to keep up with it if you don't want the signal to be hijacked or jammed). This is a valid form of stealth, but it's not the fantasy-like stealth that the B-2 has. Also, drones are valuable in their effectiveness to cost ratio. As the US knows in Russia should have learned by now, human lives are extremely expensive, so a combat drone does make sense. However, don't expect it to dogfight. Dogfighting died with over-the-horizon targeting capabilities on planes (planes can magically explode [the missile is fast enough to blink through the attack], and they never saw their enemies).
Sorry about how I started this. I'm not deleting it because people need to put this in perspective. I'm not editing it because I'm tired.

France, Germany and Spain are going with FCAS

Sweden is observer status with tempest and will likely in my opinion join as a full partner

Australia / Boeing might also be a partner with the US and Tempest programs with Ghost bat / Loyal Wingman

I'm saying that it does not exist because there does not exist a sentient computer or software in general in which we can have a human interaction. If there was, then it would be called an A.I.
Currently it's all machine learning.
rgahewitt t1_izjbmic wrote
Well, that depends on the definition of AI doesn't it?
If AI is defined as being inclusive of ML then QED.
One could go further and say any decision or computation previously only performed by an organic being that is being performed by a mechanical one is included. Therefore evenThe Difference Engine could be defined as AI
AI inherits all the fuzziness of two imprecise terms. Artifical and Intelligence It is a semantic argument rather than a factual one.

Tell me something, how do you decide what to do next?
g-nice4liief t1_izmt8ha wrote
My decisions are made explicitly whenever my conscious combines beliefs and values in order to choose a course of action. They are made implicitly whenever one relies on a ritualized response (habit, tradition) to cope with a choice between options.
We train A.I. to make the same decision instead of the A.I. learning itself to create decision. We need to tell what the A.I. needs to learn and how it needs to create decisions while A human consciousness is more flexible and can even sometimes go against our beliefs and values.
trtlclb t1_izocl3j wrote
I think you're romanticizing consciousness. We are logical creatures and we make logical choices, much like an AI is programmed to. Of course, we have the ability to pull a wild card, but that's just an inversion of the same logic, which is programmatically possible as well.
Your beliefs and values are the datasets you've been provided with, which you base your decisions on. If {statement} is true, then {something} else {something else} is quite an accurate summation of our own decision making process, regardless of how you want to pretend it is more than that.
